BTB Friday Discussion: What would success look like across the rest of the season?

"This Dallas Cowboys season is just about lost as far as the point of the sport is concerned. It was once said that you play to win the game. The Cowboys have done this so few times this season that they are on the verge of being mathematically eliminated from the postseason on the weekend before Christmas. We will see if that ultimately comes to pass."

"Ultimately it is likely that the Cowboys will play at least one meaningless game this season (meaningless in the capacity that we are defining here) which means that they will have to find meaning in different ways. What would success look like across the rest of the season? Assuming you share the overall sentiment here, what would success look like across the final games before the Cowboys pack it up for another offseason?"

"Do you want to see them win? Is it preferred in your opinion to achieve better draft status? Do you want to see younger players shine and thrive? Let us know in the comments below."

Dallas Cowboys performance has produced too few wins and places the team on the verge of mathematical elimination from the postseason before Christmas. The team will likely play at least one meaningless regular-season game, forcing alternative objectives for the remaining schedule. Remaining goals include pursuing wins, improving draft position through losses, or using games to evaluate and develop younger players. Fans must weigh preferences among short-term victories, long-term roster building, and player evaluation. The final games provide opportunities to cultivate young talent, clarify roster decisions, and influence draft outcomes while acknowledging postseason chances are minimal.
